Ashleysmamaluciana

Hi!  I was going to ask if it was okay to call you Luciana (such a pretty name!), but I see others write that, too.  Where is your daughter stationed?

Hi, again.  I talked to my son, and he said rotation for shore duty depends on the job the sailor does on the ship.  Depending on the job, it can be two years on cruise, two years on shore.  Because of Eric's job, his was 5 years of cruise and 3 years of shore duty.

Also, did your daughter Ashley tell you that the Reagan is going to change home port for one year to Bremerton, Washington, around the beginning of January, 2012?  Bremerton is close to Seattle.  She may not have been able to do so because they may not be able to divulge that via e-mail or phone.  Eric said they are basically going into the shipyards.  How far are you from Seattle?

Luciana,
